Cineraria is toxic to cats and can cause serious illness. Here’s what you should do:
1. Contact your veterinarian immediately. This is the most important step. Explain the situation and that you suspect your cat ingested cineraria. The vet will advise you on the best course of action based on the severity of the situation.
2. If you can’t reach your vet, consider taking your cat to an emergency vet clinic. Look for one that is open 24/7 in your area.
3. Gather information. While waiting to hear from your vet, try to determine the amount of cineraria your cat might have eaten and how long ago it happened. This information will be helpful for the vet. If possible, take a sample of the plant with you to the vet.
4. Avoid inducing vomiting at home. This can be dangerous for cats and should only be done under the guidance of a veterinarian.
